Our Mission
We are friends and alumni of Georgetown University as well as individuals with a passion for helping others. Through this site we wish to commemorate students, alumni, faculty and friends and their respective journeys and contributions. We will do so with a multi-media platform of educational webinars and a charitable art initiative.
